Overall the standard was excellent. This years students, particulary the 2nd and 3rd Dans, all your hard work and commitment was clearly shown yesterday with a 100% pass rate!

There were quite a number of students who require special educational needs and as a club we are very proud that we have a caring, supportive group of instructors to encourage these students. We are not a club that focuses totally on competition, gradings, personal achievements, positive attitude, self defence a real enjoyment of Karate is our aim. It is fabulous to see these students achieve their goal.

Well done to each and everyone of you.....116 1st Dans, 43 2nd Dans and 10 3rd Dans!

First Aid Course
Kombatkids believes First Aid is a life skill that everyone can and should learn from an early age.
In view of this, we were delighted to collaborate with A-Med Training who today ran a basic first aid course exclusive to our students. Having the opportunity to learn the skills and gain confidence to save a life is invaluable. Some research states that 7 out of 10 children would not know what to do if someone they knew was hurt.

A-Med Training offered practical, fun and interactive first aid training which included a broad range of topics such as choking, allergic reactions, seizures, low blood sugar, head injuries and CPR. All of the children who attended enjoyed the course, full report/pictures on our Facebook page

EKF Accreditation Course
Instructors Anisha Mistry 3rd Dan, Alex Rowley 3rd Dan, and James Stuart 3rd Dan all travelled down to Barnsley to take the course and exam to become English Karate Federation Accredited Kumite Coaches, so can coach at National and International tournaments in the future.

Safeguarding Course
All instructors attended a one day course run through UK Coaching, covering many areas of child protection/awareness in Sport and Martial Arts.

Congratulations to the small squad of students that made it up to Sunderland at the weekend for the Nissan Championships.

Several students had been training with Wado Kai England all day Saturday preparing for the FEW European championships in Sardinia, then traveling up to Sunderland for the competition the next day on what turned out to be a very good days competition for us.

An excellent competition and a great day out for our students, with all students medalling in Kata or Kumite or both. A particular mention to our instructors Anisha Mistry 3rd Dan, Alex Rowley 3rd Dan and Jamie Donaghy 4th Dan who all medalled on the day. After a tough year with several of our students leaving for university the squad is rebuilding, we have some excellent students coming through and look forward to a busy competition year in 2018.

Our last competition of the year was held in Worcester by our good friend Stennet Harvey, as usual the tournament was very well organised and attended, our students competed very well and came away with plenty of medals.
